5 Best Memory Care Facilities in Ponce De Leon, MO

This was not an easy decision to make. Not at all. We cared for my mother for a few years at home but wandering in the middle of the night started and it became a safety issue for my mother. Having toured several facilities in the Springfield Missouri area, both my sister and I agreed that the Arbors at Lakewood stood out among their peers. Since my mothers arrival, I can't express how reassured I am that we made the right choice. This provides me as much peace as this difficult decision can. If you have a loved one who suffers from Alzheimer's/Dementia I highly recommend this facility and their genuinely caring staff. From administration to activities and meals and their flexible "Best Friends" approach.

We moved my Dad here per his request because he grew up in Ozark. He was formerly at The Fremont in Springfield because that was close to our house. Century Pines seemed old, confusing and more like the old time rest homes, but I was wrong. The staff here has been phenomenal. As his Alzheimer's progresses, they have been very patient and gone out of their way to make him comfortable. The place is very clean and there is always staff to help if I have questions or concerns. [Removed] personally calls with suggestions and updates. All facilities should follow their personalized lead. I usually never write a review, but felt it was necessary. They deserve recognition.

Ravenwood is definitely the perfect place for Mom. Since moving in she has been very happy and made plenty of friends. She enjoys playing bingo and my sisters go to visit her often. I've heard no complaints about the food and the cook is such an awesome person! Since moving in my sisters have complimented on the smell of the community and are able to come by and either have dinner from the community or cook in the kitchen if they'd like. The staff have been great and encourage my Mom to do her PT daily since she is recovering from a fall. I'd say this is a perfect match.
